- CClaire & Dan15/10/2023Flawless wedding in the woodsFlawless wedding in the woodsWe had the most incredible time hosting our wedding at Plush Tents. The team based on site were - from the get-go - accommodating, willing and flexible. From the moment we booked our wedding to the final touches on the morning of the ceremony, Plush went above and beyond to ensure our festival-themed wedding in the woods was a great time for all. We are not what you'd call traditional, so the opportunities at Plush ticked a lot of boxes for us. We wanted our friends and family to stay on site, we wanted people to feel like they could escape on their own accord, and we wanted a place where we could really let our hair down. We were able to decorate the site to our taste, bring in external caterers and the plush team even helped us run a bar during the first half of the event. A truly amazing weekend that neither we or our friends will forget ay time soon.We had the most incredible time hosting our wedding at Plush Tents.

We had a mammoth task setting up and transforming your venue into our own little Edwardian Circus Town and we were completely chuffed with how it all turned out. The versatility of the site allowed for our imaginations to run wild. Thank you for allowing us to have pretty much free reign over your site. We have to give an especially big thank you to Bex and Kobi, who could not help us enough and were there whenever we needed them to move sofas, provide fire wood or shelter when it rained etc, but for the rest of the time left us to our own devices. All our guests felt very comfortable and commented many times at what a treasure your site was, not just for our wedding but as a glamping holiday experience. They all had a wonderful time. Thank you Megan for being there at the end of an email for all my odd questions and requests and accommodating them so proficiently, you are an asset to the company. We would love to come back and visit for a holiday and get some much needed use out of the hot tub.Darren and I wanted to share our gratitude to Megan and the on site staff at Plush Tents during our wedding weekend and in the year leading up to our covid-postponed wedding.
